Tulum & Tacos

The evening I arrived in Tulum, I had tacos on my mind. But first, a quick rewind.

I type Tulum into Google. Its aquamarine coastline and Elysian ruins fill the grid of a Google image search. I'm not looking for a holiday paradise, instead I'm searching for the ultimate last-minute locale for an obligatory visa run from Canada. After nabbing a cheap return flight from Toronto to Cancun via Air Canada Rouge - I Google-mapped through the state of Quintana Roo, before settling on my home-away-from-home-away-from-home.

Tulum Village, is where I opted to stay rather than the stunning, but ever-so-tinselly beach side. The village lies either side of a sandy main street and it's equal parts sleepy and vibrant. Instantly swept up in its days-gone-by charm and slowed by searing air, I knew my roaming heart had found its temporary home.

That evening I arrived, I never could have known the first taco spot would become the favourite taco spot.
